An organized linear complex of thunderstorms propagated east-northeast across the western and central Permian Basin of west Texas during the very early morning hours of the 3rd and produced widespread severe weather and heavy rainfall. Small bow-shaped segments embedded within the squall line produced damaging winds and hail. Most of the severe winds remained over relatively unpopulated areas, so damage was largely limited to downed trees and utility poles. At least one light structure was destroyed in rural areas of Upton County. Flash flooding caused serious travel problems during the overnight hours in Midland and Odessa. No injuries were reported.An outbreak of severe thunderstorms affected much of west Texas during the late evening hours of the 2nd and during the pre-dawn hours of the 3rd. Convection initiated late on the 2nd over the Big Bend and Upper Trans Pecos regions. This activity eventually merged into an organized squall line that rapidly propagated east-northeast over the Permian Basin. Large hail and damaging thunderstorm winds were widespread across the region. The most significant damage occurred in Marfa as the city was pounded by two severe hailstorms that resulted in nearly $200,000 in damages. The second storm to impact Marfa produced very large hail up to two inches in diameter.
